Hi Vincent, 

That’s great news. On a related topic at OSRF we’ve been talking to several people involved in RoboCup and Nate went down to attend RoboCup last year. If anyone else is interested in this topic we’d like to take this opportunity to suggest that we kick off a conversation about building up the infrastructure for a common interface for RoboCup. 

With the availability of a simulated Nao there are now two simulations which would be useful for RoboCup. The ability to simulate the 3D Simulator League, as well as providing a practice ground for the Standard Platform League. 

If we can setup some standard simulations there is the potential to consider setting up continuous testing in the cloud to be a testing platform for teams worldwide. 

For the forum, we suggest that we use the Aldebaran SIG for now as it already has a relevant community: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ros-sig-aldebaran

We’ve started a thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ros-sig-aldebaran/-Pt9CxL3HCE . If you’re interested in contributing to this project please join that thread.

Hi all,

after a few months of work from the community and Aldebaran, we are pleased to provide new functionalities for NAO and Romeo, placing them among the top supported robots out there in ROS.

- up-to-date URDFs with extra sensors (bumpers, cameras, sonars ...)
- official Aldebaran meshes
- support for all sensors through the NAOqi/ROS bridge
- rQt dashboard
- support for MoveIt!
- support for Gazebo (not for Romeo yet but soon !)
- improvements for onboard running of ROS
- wiki improvements

And don't forget the SIG for up-to-date news:

Just install ros-indigo-nao-* or ros-indigo-romeo-* and enjoy ! (there is also Hydro support).
